Proposed Programme. 26. The Kosovo Programme Action Plan will be implemented from 2011 to 2015. The programme will contribute to Kosovo’s strategic priorities embodied in the EU-Kosovo Partnership Action Plan (EPAP), which reveals Kosovo’s aspirations to EU membership, the Kosovo Economic Vision Plan 2011-2014 and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework.

Using this broad agreement about collective priorities of UN assistance in Kosovo, UNDP conducted consultations with central and local authorities, the United Nations system, and other partners in the civil society and the private sector about UNDP’s comparative advantages and its strategic contributions to Kosovo’s development. These consultations led to the development of the XXXX 0000-0000 Programme Action Plan. 28.

Efforts will continue to reinforce mainstreaming gender equality across the programme and greater attention will be devoted to embedding a more coherent strategy for civil society engagement and research-based programming across all development interventions. 29. UNDP offers comparative advantages in these areas, drawing on its global knowledge base, best practices, lessons learnt, and past cooperation. The total financial envelope for the 2011-2015 programme constitutes USD52,232,000, out of which USD50,012,000 represent programme funds to be mobilised from other sources.

Proposed Programme. The UNDP country programme for the period of 2010‐2015 aims to achieve the objectives set out in the National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for the period up to 2015, in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals. The proposed programme areas are in line with the themes defined in the Joint Country Programme Strategy, signed between partners on November 3rd, 2009: support for (i) broad‐ based economic growth; (ii) good governance; and (iii) human development.

Particular attention will be given to the scaling up of proven successful initiatives, utilizing best practices and lessons learned to inform policy reform, and promoting gender equality as a cross‐cutting issue, such that gender is integrated into all UNDP programme interventions and promoted by key implementing partners, including the Government of Tajikistan. One of the goals of the Gender Mainstreaming strategy will be to ensure that all projects and programmes have a data collection system that includes gender disaggregated indicators. Lastly, the UNDP Country Office will focus on providing policy advice to the Tajikistan government across all programmatic areas.

Proposed Programme. 4.1 Based on the lessons learned, UNDP would operate within an environment-economic- governance nexus in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tokelau. It would seek to demonstrate MDG impact through an integrated and coordinated and gender responsive approach to equitable economic growth and poverty reduction, good governance and human rights from the angle of HIV/AIDS prevention, crisis prevention and recovery, and sustainable environmental management.
